Chances are that pretty good that most construction workers, like bricklayers, suffer from some type of repetitive injury to a particular part of the body. One of the most common body parts injured at work is the back. According to OSHA, back disorders result from exceeding the capability of the muscles, tendons, discs, or the cumulative effect of reaching while lifting, poor posture and bad body mechanics — how one lifts, pushes, pulls, or carries objects.

For years, contractors have been dumping smaller debris bins into larger trash dumpsters, either manually or by forklift. Many personnel have been injured: back strains, arms hurt, shoulder injuries, severed/lacerated fingers, pinch-point injuries, etc.
